1. Cathy my comment was about the ratings for tires in the door jamb
(based on old tech in tires) vs following the inflation info on the
current, new tire's side walls.

2. I am all for tire rotation, 'new meat' goes on the drive wheels and
the steering wheels and in our case it's both. 

3. If they tires you are replacing are on the back right now maybe you
can run a month or two that way but get them on the front before too
long. Better from my point of view to put them up front 1st. 

If you don't have any Plutonium you might try banana peels.
